Abstract

Carbon–carbon couplings are among the most important strategies for constructing functional molecules in organic synthetic chemistry, and cheap, diverse, and readily available coupling partners are crucial to these diverse reactions. In this contribution, we report the first palladium-catalyzed C–C cross-coupling reaction of two kinds of organic halide, a gem-dibromoalkene and a halobenzene, as the starting materials. Terminal alkynes were generated in situ through a tandem elimination–hydrodebromination process, and the internal alkyne final products were synthesized in one pot. The reaction proceeded under simple, facile, and classic copper-free Sonogashira coupling reaction conditions in good to excellent yields.
